My Logs flooded with "libpng warning : iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

If I open journalctl -f I see two entries per seconds like this:

How can I fix this to not flood the logs with such stuff?

Is baloo running ?

messages from the file indexer (baloo)

I’d say either of:

  • endure it - when the indexing is done, no more messages are going to be created
  • exempt the directory where these files are in from being indexed
  • check and fix the pictures themselves - the message is about some incorrectness within the pictures (I do not know how one would go about to do this)

Yep, it’s running.

Good hint, but unfortunately the error-message don’t show which file or directory it is, that cause the error.
May be there any dedicated baloo log give more feedback?

I do not know.
I’m sorry.
I do not use or run baloo.

… doesn’t it have it’s own log - besides the system log where such messages about failures are written to?

again:
I just do not know. :man_shrugging:
